The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

Not humans, but artificial humans?

Kira took a deep breath.

The sun above the head outside the window was covered by white clouds. The inside of the hope cabin became much darker for a while, and even the air seemed a bit colder. The wind chimes no longer played music, only the tassels under the glass beads were still swaying slightly.

With the change of light and shadow, the expressions on the two identical faces seemed to become uncertain.

Kira did not hesitate to use his magic perception and looked at Kira from the inside out - don't get me wrong, this is the same effect as looking at chakra meridians with white eyes, not a clairvoyant eye.

So all Kira saw was a ball of magic power. From this ball of magic power, he could clearly see its size, nature, source, and flow direction.

The rendering of a normal magician's mental power should be similar to the shape of a thermal image. The heart and brain have more magic power, and the magic power decreases towards the end of the limbs.

This is because magic power is actually distributed everywhere in the magician's body, not just flowing along the meridians.

But the magic power of the Hopelite in front of me is different!

In Kira's perception, there is a spherical magic source in his body, which acts as an energy core and flows throughout the body through complex lines similar to meridians, just like the mechanical soldiers of 'Judge' Val!

Kira was stunned: "Wait...wait! The artificial human you are talking about? Is it like Dragon Ball No. 17 and 18?"

He is just surprised now. In seven months, have the results of magic technology become so powerful?

Hopelite was very satisfied with Kira's confused look at the moment, and smiled sinisterly: "No!"

"Eh?!"

"The ones No. 17 and 18 were transformed from humans, but I was completely created by magic and technology. My body is a mixture of your flesh and blood clone and special metal. My thoughts, memories and... Behavior patterns come from your personality attachments, memory digitization, and mechanical text programming."

So this guy is closer to artificial intelligence?

"Um...that means, who is the person who created you?"

"That's right! They are Kira, Silver and Val from my world."

very good!

No wonder I've been feeling something strange about you since last night. It turns out you're not human!

No wonder you dare to use Solar Eclipse so boldly, it turns out you never thought about going back at all!

No wonder you are not afraid of the curse of the God of Time when you play with the timeline so much. Your personality and thoughts come from magic, which means you are not afraid of the torture of loneliness at all.

No wonder you haven't moved at all during your afternoon tea. Mechanical androids have no digestive tract, so they don't need to eat. Their energy source is magic power, which saves more resources than Silver's mechanical clones and Val's mechanical soldiers!

Kira now deeply regrets his carelessness, not realizing that the other person is not a human being at a glance!

Subway, the elderly, mobile phones...

For a moment, Kira's face twisted into a ball. After brewing for a long time, he slowly said a word from his mouth: "Then what...congratulations on having three dads!"

"..."

"No, then why did you say you were the future me before?!"

Hopelet blinked innocently: "Just to see your expression just now! It's really fun to tease people!"

I go! This expression...is indeed my artificial human!

"Your character is really..."

"Character mainly comes from your personality additions!" Hopelite reminded in a low voice.

"...How naughty!"

At this moment, Kira finally knew why his friends in the guild still hated him for his pranks. The shadow in the hearts of many people still lingers. This feeling is really uncomfortable!

But it's quite exciting...

"You know your own character well. Unless you are fully prepared, you will not get into danger!"

Hopelet continued, "You wouldn't do it yourself to travel through time and space to experience parallel worlds, so you created me specially."

"The original person gave me his strong thirst for knowledge and scientific research spirit. I silently endure the satisfaction and indulge in low-level fun every day. I am really touched!"

hiss--! !

Does this guy have this weird way of thinking? How cruel and ruthless Kira, Silver, and Val were in that world! To actually set it up with this kind of character is simply a devil!

Kira's face was full of shock, and she stared at Hopelet blankly, unable to say a word.

It seemed that his only bad taste had been satisfied, and Hopelet returned to his seriousness: "I will leave here soon. After all, studying time energy and parallel worlds is my life pursuit, so I will not be in Magnolia." I will stay longer and follow you here this time, just to inform you so that you can have peace of mind."

"Although this face is the original one, my program has a face pinching function, and I have saved several faces in the database. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble to you, I will not use it again in the future."

Hopelet said it sincerely and passionately, and his attitude of dedicating his life to his career was enough to make countless people feel ashamed, but Kira only dared to believe half of it.

seriously? With such a handsome face, why don’t you just say you don’t need it?

Anyway, he felt a little unsure about this matter.

Fortunately, the other person does not seem to be the kind of person whose words and deeds are inconsistent. Maybe Kira in the future knows his own personality, so he deliberately created this kind of artificial human with a simple personality.

In the next few days, Kira and Hopelite stayed at home, hiding in the research room to delve into the mysteries of magic and technology, and explore the pinnacle masterpiece of the combination of mechanical life and the human body.

In order to make up for the impact of disturbing this world, Kira once again studied Hopelite's whole body thoroughly.

The storage limit of the magic source in the opponent's body is about the same as Gildarts' current magic value. As for the combat system, a variety of magic is mapped into the smart chip, which is very comprehensive. In a real fight, it should be at the level of an advanced shield.

From this point of view, at least I don't have to worry about the other person's safety.

A few days later, Hopelet left Magnolia.

According to the agreement, this mechanical android from the future gave himself a new look and embarked on a journey to find time.

…

Kira resumed her original life - opening a store!

Inside the Hope Cottage.

A fair-skinned, graceful and charming young lady was holding the latest magic cloak in the store. She looked at Kira beside her with a lot of eyes. She gently tapped her slender white index finger on Kira's chest and carefully Scratched a few times.

“Incredibly handsome store manager, this cloak is so expensive~ I don’t seem to have enough money~”

Facing the beauty's teasing, Kira didn't look away, with awe-inspiring righteousness lingering around him. He smiled politely and said, "This cloak is a new model. It has the function of changing colors at will. The price must be a bit more expensive!"

If you want to bargain, no way!

The beauty looked at Kira's face quietly, and after thinking for a few seconds, she said meaningfully: "Then... As a businessman, I don't know if you will accept my payment for this cloak using the most original business transaction. Where’s the reward?”

"The most primitive method of payment...barter?"

Kira raised her eyebrows and looked away from the plump part of the other person's body: "Do you have any novel props for this guest? If the props are interesting enough, I..."

"No! The most primitive way of business transactions is..."

The beauty smiled lightly, curved the corners of her mouth, leaned forward and whispered a noun into Kira's ear.

Kira was instantly moved! but……

"Sorry! My education does not allow me to do such a thing!"

Half a minute later, the beauty reluctantly left the Hope House angrily.

"What a bastard businessman! I got this face for nothing!"

"Ah!! I really want that cloak!!"

Watching the beautiful customer twisting her butt and leaving, Kira was silent for a while, then closed the store door, hung up the rest sign, sorted the things in the store, and walked towards the guild.

He is going to the guild's library to find out what is the most primitive trading method in the world!
